Brent Gretzky-Roman Hamrlik
Roman Hamrlik-Kevin Lowe
Kevin Lowe-Wayne Gretzky


Gordie Howe to Chuck Kobasew.

Lowe shouldnt count since he was a GM and not a player, I'll re-do the Gretzky one


Brent Gretzky to Petr Klima (Tbay 96)
Klima to Petr Nedved (pitts 97)
Nedved to Gretz (99 NYR)

Only way I could do it without goin back and forth......but it works....TRUST!!!!

[Patek23]

my bad, the guy who I am working with was doin these with me and got me confused. He was talkin to me while I was tyoin and you know when stuff gets in your head, you start to write it......thats what i did there..... I meant to write that shouldnt count because you are goin back and forth, I know that wasnt a set in stone rule, and I know other peolpe have been doin it, I just think it makes more sense to go in chrnological order, when possible.

[Arsenal14]

Eric Lindros -> Tommy Soderstrom -> Brett Lindros

Next challenge: Darren Pang to Andrei Trefilov

(To increase the difficulty, try to do it using only goaltenders. I assure you it can be done.)

[Ro]

Darren Pang --> Denis Savard
Denis Savard --> Gary Suter
Gary Suter --> Theo Fleury
Theo Fleury --> Andrei Trefilov

This is fun.

Next up: Don Cherry --> Brent Burns

Oops, missed the goaltenders qualifier thing...working on it on we speak...er, read...

Darren Pang --> Jimmy Waite
Jimmy Waite --> Ed Belfour
Ed Belfour --> Roman Turek
Roman Turek --> Mike Vernon
Mike Vernon --> Chris Osgood
Chris Osgood --> Fred Braitwaite
Fred Braithwaite --> Andrei Trefilov

Yeah! Now that's putting hockeydb.com to good use.

[Arsenal14]

I added the all goalie qualifier later (Trent Yawney was the easy connection otherwise). The one I had found was Pang -> Waite -> Irbe -> Terreri -> Trefilov


Cherry -> Lorne Ferguson (1954-55 Bruins)
Ferguson -> Bobby Hull (1958-59 Blackhawks)
Hull -> Tony Esposito (1968-69 Blackhawks)
Esposito -> Denis Savard (1980-81 Blackhawks)
Savard -> Jason Wiemer (1994-95 Lightning)
Wiemer -> Brent Burns (2003-04 Wild)

This one was tough with Cherry and Burns each playing in just one season.


Next: Ken Dryden to Patrick Roy

I know Eddie did it already, but I did it with only goalies.

Ken Dryden - Bunny Larocque (78-79)
Larocque - Richard Sevigny (80-81)
Sevigny - Mark Holden (81-82) ---> Holden played 1 game...
Holden - Brian Hayward (Winnipeg 84-85) ---> Holden played 4 games...
Hayward - Patrick Roy (89-90)

Onto Eddie's next match-up...

[Patek23]

Makarov-Nieuwendyk
Nieuwendyk-Stevens
Stevens-Brady


Syl Apps (TML) too Shean Donovan.

Syl Apps (TML) to Shean Donovan.

Syl Apps - Ted Kennedy (47 -48 TML)
Kennedy - George Armstrong (54-55 TML)
Armstrong - Darryl Sittler (70-71 TML)
Sittler - Borje Salming (73-74 TML)
Salming - Al Iafrate (85-86 TML)
Iafrate - Shean Donovan (96-97 Sharks)


Next - Bunny Larocque to Bunny Bertuzzi

[Ro]

Bunny Larocque --> Larry Robinson
Larry Robinson --> Wayne Gretzky
Wayne Gretzky --> Dan Cloutier
Dan Cloutier --> Bunny Bertuzzi

Next up:

Randy Turnbull --> Brian Finley

With a whopping 2 combined NHL games between them! Good luck!

[Arsenal14]

Randy Turnbull -> Jamie Hislop (1981-82 Flames)
Hislop -> Al MacInnis (1983-84 Flames)
MacInnis -> Theo Fleury (1993-94 Flames)
Fleury -> Clarke Wilm (1998-99 Flames)
Wilm -> Brian Finley (2002-03 Predators)

I had to use Hislop because only he and Pekka Rautakallio played every game in 81-82 and I don't know where to find boxscores for that far back. But, I can guarantee the Hislop and Turnbull played together, as did Wilm and Finley.

How about: John Mariucci (supposedly first Russian born NHL player) to Reto Von Arx (one of the first Swiss born NHL players along with Aebischer and Riesen).

Sittler - Steve Yzerman (Det 84-85)

Let's ease it up a bit and go with one that doesn't require hockeydb.com

How about... Willi Plett to Mario Lemieux

[Arsenal14]

I'll take a stab at this one.

Plett -> Lanny McDonald -> Joe Mullen -> Mario Lemieux

O'Reilly - Mike Krushelnyski
Krushelnyski - Gretzky
